This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Security headers

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business operates as a domain brokerage service specializing in premium and verified domains. Its competitive advantage lies in secure escrow services and fast domain transfers, appealing to buyers valuing trust and efficiency. Revenue streams likely include commissions or fees from domain sales. The target customers are businesses and individuals seeking memorable or established domains. The company leverages partnerships within the domainname.de ecosystem, enhancing market reach and credibility. Growth indicators include active domain listings and customer reviews. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding payment options and enhancing privacy compliance to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse on forms. CSRF tokens are implemented, reducing risk of cross-site request forgery. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness perception. Compliance with GDPR is supported by privacy policy links, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could pose regulatory risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Consider adding direct company contact information such as verified emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons, ensuring a modern and user-friendly interface. Google reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 are integrated for bot protection on forms. The site uses standard HTML5 and CSS with no detected errors, contributing to good SEO and accessibility. Performance is moderate, with optimized images and minimal external dependencies. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but the domain is under DENIC registry with German nameservers. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to enhance security headers and implement cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business model effectively with room for incremental improvements.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
